Mayor Michael Nutter took the plunge today -- off the side of a Philadelphia skyscraper.

Nutter joined more than 100 others including various other local dignitaries and celebrities as they rappelled off the side One Logan Square along the Ben Franklin Parkway in Center City just after 11:30 a.m. Friday to raise money for a local charity.

The event, which also features descents by former Flyer Ed Hospodar and state Sen. Vincent Hughes, comes a day after Nutter announced that the city’s crowdfunding goal of $500,000 for school supplies was reached.

During his plunge Nutter at times would just hang there -- seemingly taking it all in.

Participants in the event had to raise at least $2,000 each for the charity, according to organizers.
